Comments on: McCain, Palin pledge to 'break some china' in Washington http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/05/mccain-palin-pledge-to-break-some-china-in-washington/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Sue, NY http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/05/mccain-palin-pledge-to-break-some-china-in-washington/#comment-1671312 Sue, NY Sat, 06 Sep 2008 12:24:24 +0000 http://cnnpoliticalticker.wordpress.com/?p=17272#comment-1671312 I find it interesting that John McCain thinks that we should believe him that he can shake up washington when the republicans have been in power the last 8 years at the presidential level and 12 of the 14 at the senate/congressional level....I believe he's been in office 26 yrs...not a good track record for him. In addition to that...he has voted with Bush 90% of the time...in his own words.... There is nothing he can do....it's time to move on and get the republicans out of control for a while.

Obama rose to his power by NOT making any waves...working with a corrupt political machine in Chicago...he claims he stayed above the fray...then in the Senate, he voted right along party lines 97% of the time. Did he buck the Party once in the Senate? NOPE. I would rather take the risk on two that have bucked their own Party, than one that has appeased it, didn't make waves, and got in good with the Good Old Leaders.

He doesn't have any new ideas nor does he have a vision to solve America's challenges and make the lives of it's people better. It's time for the American people to get it right and NOT vote for McCain, instead vote for change. It's time for this country to turn the page and seek a new and better future for ourselves and our children.It's time for REAL change in Washington, it's time to elect Barack Obama for president !

If you listened to him answer King's questions, you would never vote for McCain/Palin, regardless of your opinion of Moore. "The Fleecing of America". Regular folks are suffering. These people really don't care about us. Sen Obama is a fresh change. Just like Mr. Moore says, if he is elected President and you don't like what he does, then vote him out in 4 years. Someone else should be the chance. We cannot be happy with the last 8 years unless you are rich. I just listened to Michael Moore on Larry King.

Once some more bad news come up, they will drop her like a hot potatoe and they will come up with a story why she had to give up her spot as VP. The mostlikely reason will be something related to family, since she is projecting to be so family oriented.

In his speech he made 56 statements against the current Republican government hence we are not sure what party McCain stands for??? His reference to “change” and “fight” and “maverick” translate into a question mark for many Republicans who see their party disintegrating. In short he is talking about changing the people in power which are Republicans. This is very schizophrenic. I think his speech actually helped the Democrats make the point that the current Republican government has failed. Bizarre!!!! OBSERVATIONS FROM CANADA
